[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't people sometimes pick up other people's baby monitors? Upthread, someone said hotel security told her people do this all the time. So if you were a monster, maybe you'd get a baby monitor to pick up on little ones left alone in a hotel room?[/quote]

From a purely logistical perspective this is a pretty silly concern. There are 138 rooms in the Yale Club and appear to be at least 5 other hotels in a 3-4 block radius of this hotel. Even if someone did hack the camera, they would have no idea what room. This would be akin to a thief in a parking garage knowing one car in 1000 was unlocked. Except in this case the cars themselves (IE, hotel rooms in fairly upscale hotels) are much harder to break into. Even if a bad actor had a hotel room skeleton key they would have to just randomly start picking rooms to open and are far more likely to accidentally open the door on multiple guests and expose themselves then find these kids.

But if they worked in the hotel and had access to enter a room in the hotel, it would be a lot easier. I've worked in the hospitality business for 20 years and would never leave my kids alone in a hotel room. There are so many people who can gain access to your room (and I hate to say this but there are some sketchy people working in hotels, high-end or not). I always use the metal bar lock when I am in my room alone. A baby can't do that.[/quote]
Yes! I am involved in the hotel industry with top hotels (5 star, Michelin starred restaurants, etc). You would be shocked at some of the behind the scenes stuff, the number of people who actually have access to your rooms, the number of times random workers will knock and go in, the number of people who get fired for crazy things. I am neurotic with my children in hotels after some of the things I have encountered. For everyone arguing about whether the baby would have an event, far more likely that a weirdo wools go in the room. Alternatively staff is obligated to report minors left alone (bc no hotel wants the liability of something happening). A hood front end staff is on top of when people come and go. You’d also be shocked at the number of guests up at weird hours bc their children who are great sleepers at home are disoriented or scared or wake up and can’t sleep at a new hotel. Finally, you’d be shocked at how often kids will exit rooms in the night when parents are asleep if they forget the chain or whatever the property offers. Young kids get up in the night and accidentally go in the hall instead of the bathroom, door shuts, parents asleep. You name it, it happens more than you’d expect. I’d be more worried about the 2 year old. [/quote]
